2,6-Bis(4-azidobenzal)-4-methylcyclohexanone (CAS 5284-79-7), molecular formula C21H18N6O and molecular weight 370.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 2,6-Bis(4-azidobenzal)-4-methylcyclohexanone (C21H18N6O) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 16.0, corresponding to approximately 16 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 370.41 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
